Innovative Business Leadership
For those of you having followed me a while, you know I do a fair number of book reviews. In the interest of continual self-improvement I am constantly reading new books. Shortly after I finish each (business) book I generally post a review.
My favorite tool streamlining the process is iPad’s reader application. Elegantly implemented, simple to use, iBooks is more than ‘just a reader’ application. It is also a tool you can leverage to really make life easier.
Why People Fail is actually a twist on words. It could just as easily been titled along the lines of How to Be Successful. Siimon provides an easily read book that highlights 16 key points underlying how people set themselves up to fail.
Step by step, Siimon discusses ways readers can incrementally work to improve themselves, from self-image, through proper health and exercise, to rituals and persistence…to name a few.
Many B2B success challenges, are chronic ones that can be readily overcome. Read this guest post to get further insight to “The B2B Executive Playbook.”

As the old saying used to go, “As goes GM, so goes the Nation…,” Bob’s book serves well as an analogy to the US as a whole, currently. GM has shown us what may happen if we don’t get our collective act together.
It is not uncommon for senior leaders to seek out coaches. The idea of seeking out a coach to—specifically—help me in improving strategically important relationships (e.g. important to my success and/or the business’) was a new idea.
Book review of “You Can’t Not Communicate 2″ by David Grossman. Hint: The creators should have remembered, Communication is about balance.
The Naked Presenter is another excellent book that I highly recommend to anyone doing presentations, public speaking, or otherwise ‘talking’ with say groups of 10 or more.
